re: Zion's bubble injury kept secret from team(coaches)?

The Griff haters won't talk about our draft picks, because they don't want to talk about how great they have been.

It's intellectually dishonest.

Ok, let’s talk!

Jaxson and NAW are still TBD but I’m hoping to eat crow and signals are positive.

Murphy is nice, but again, he hasn’t even played an NBA game yet.

Zion is a gimme and crediting him for that would be actual intellectual dishonesty.

So not bad, but three seasons in and we’re still waiting on the first class of players to be net positive impact guys.

But none of those players are what I would call franchise altering picks at this point, or expect to be(maybe Hayes, MAYBE, if he literally takes an AD like leap in his development).

Furthermore, it’s basically what Trajan was brought in for. Something tells me the quality of our draft picks would not materially change if Griff was fired and Trajan and the rest of the staff remained. So the argument doesn’t exactly hold a ton of weight with me.

And TBC I’m not 100% out on Griff, but if I’m grading his first 3 seasons across all aspects of team building, it’s between a D+ and a C+. And that doesn’t cut it as a small market in this league.
